Sewage Spill Forces Water Ban at Reservoir | Colorado Springs News

John Martin Reservoir State Park is shutting down all water activities starting Monday after a massive 4.2 million-gallon sewage spill in Pueblo contaminated the Arkansas River and is headed downstream. E. coli levels are dangerously high, prompting Colorado Parks and Wildlife and health officials to issue strict warnings — no swimming, wading, fishing, tubing, or pets allowed. The park remains open but is bracing for impact while also managing separate blue-green algae concerns at Lake Hasty. Warning signs will be posted everywhere to keep visitors informed and safe as two major water issues converge. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
